Put one foot in front of the other…

2010 Q-Ball in Pittsburgh

Two years ago today David performed at the Q92.9 Fall Q-Ball Think Pink event at the Altar Bar in Pittsburgh (or Picksburg as David says). TOSOD was newly released and David was doing a radio tour to promote the album. These acoustic concerts with Mike K. on the guitar showcased David’s flawless vocals at it’s pure and simple best! Not to mention David was rocking the red plaid shirt!

We were fortunate that Muldur (aka 8throwcenter) was in attendance and provided her stellar vids that captured all the energy and fun! I’m going to post her video descriptions so you can get a first-hand idea of what it was like to be there up close and live!

Something ‘Bout Love

David is introduced, and as he is about to sing, discovers the mic is hopelessly attached to the stand at the keyboard and he pushes forward anyway and sings the first part of SBL seated at the keyboard. Finally help arrives and frees the mic for him and he is able to get up and move around. Doesn’t hurt the performance. Really great performance of SBL.

Angels

I think the most tender and powerful Angels I ever heard David sing. You decide.
Apologies for me trying to adjust to a new camera and not being very steady. I was listening to him sing.

Elevator

In which David graciously signs a CD for a fan in the front row, and then engages the audience with Elevator. I love the end where he asks for audience participation, and don’t miss Mike K’s accompaniment, especially during this part where he seems to know exactly whether to strum loud or soft or not at all for the audience parts. Elevator live is so much fun!

My Hands

Another innovation in this song, this is my favorite acoustic version of My Hands.

Crush

In which David is invited to sing at a fan’s wedding, and sings a wonderful acoustic Crush. I love Crush with just David, the keyboard and Mike on guitar.

2008 ALTNOY Exclusive on FOD

Four years ago a little birdie dropped by FOD and delivered a sneak peek at what was then a brand new David song! A certain someone was looking for feedback from fans, and the poll showed that ALTNOY was a definite winner! This is still one of my all time favorite songs, and I really love the music vid – which should have been on VH1 so we could vote on it for the Top 20 Countdown – but that’s another story….

Waiting for the Rainbow Connection

They say patience is a virtue – if that’s the case, then this fandom is one of the most virtuous ever! Excitement is building ever since this tweet teaser from @JonDaza

The big question is: What is the definition of VERY SOON? There are unconfirmed rumors that the Rainbow music vid may debut as early as this Saturday! Then there is the question of DANCING – will he or won’t he? If there is dancing (oh please let there be dancing) what style of dancing? Some are hoping it’s that gangnam style that seems to be all the rage now – not sure about David’s equestrian skills, but we’ll be happy with whatever style of dancing it may be!

Comments was buzzing with anticipation, and as usual, when in doubt, PARTY! There was discussion about a Rainbow Release party, and everyone decided on what rainbow themed food we could bring to the party. Skittles, jellybeans and M&Ms were a yummy suggestion, as were rainbow cakes and cupcakes – and after eating all that rainbow food we would be so full that someone volunteered to bring rainbow Tums!

Let’s start with this awesome Rainbow Cake!

Here’s a selection of other Rainbow goodies including some fruit for you health conscious folks – the rest of us will be getting a sugar rush – what a rush, what a rushhhhhh!

And look who’s captured for all eternity in colorful jellybeans! Maybe one day someone will immortalize David in his very own jellybean portrait! Any volunteers?

Scarfchuleta and Other Neckware

Now for the OTHER neckware! David also loves ties – maybe moreso now that he has to wear them every day – but he’s had some pretty memorable outfits that included some cool ties, and many fans have gifted him with ties over the past four years, so he must have quite the collection! Here’s a few great outfits with ties:

– CFTH Tour

– With Miley’s dad Billy Ray Cyrus

– A Capitol Fourth

– MoTab

– Flickr

– Forevermore

– Noche de Gala

– Brit Week

– American Idol

– Where is this from?

– Fake tie – Reno, NV

KimK found these cool ties that seem perfect for David!

– Music Rainbow Tie – Zazzle

– Rainbow/Piggy Tie – Zazzle

Happy 205th day!!! Thanks for the fabulous TGIF post, Kalei!!!
Scarfchuleta and Tiechuleta FTW!
An OMJ top pic is a wonderful way to start the day!
Love D’s rockin’ red outfit and rockin’ messy hair look at the Altar Bar show! The change-ups in My Hands are just beautiful….a master at making a song fresh again!
ALTNOY is also my all-time fave D song…..and the MV is on the top of my list!

Thanks Kalei for today’s post! The video for ALTNOY I’ve always felt is so awesome! So much was put into that video. The song itself is one of the songs that showcases David voice the best on his debut album. It should have been as big a hit as Crush, if not bigger. I listened to a few songs from Forevermore last night, such as Rainbow, NA, Whereever You Are, Hold On, Reaching Out! It seems like it’s been so long since I’ve listened to it. My goodness, it’s such a beautiful album!!

Another FABULOUS post Kalei! The lead off pic by Naree….so natural and beautiful! THANKS Muldur for your AMAZING vids and descriptions….wish I had a dollar for every video of yours I’ve watched over the years…again and again!! lol

WOW on the RAINBOW STUFF! That cake was INCREDIBLE! YUM too!

LOVE ALL the “Eye Candy”, Scarf and Tie pics and David With Glasses collage! So many creative and generous fans….THANKS FOR SHARING!! Always FUN to look back on the FABULOUS journey of David …his music and his performances!

Well have to meet a friend for lunch at the beach….too bad there’s NO sun! At least it’s warm and not raining!!

Anita…Just ordered another forevermore album…wore the other one out! Play it every night …just so BEAUTIFUL! Nandito Ako is one of my FAVORITE songs ever sung by David! That list keeps getting longert and longer!

sarah-You are so right! Those songs do sound like they were made just for him! They are so heartfelt, and the melodies really showcase David’s strengthens extremely well!

VaBeach-You wore out you’re CD! Good for you!! I wish I hadn’t stopped listening to it. Silly me! What also makes this album so special is the fact David recorded this over the span of just a few days, and most of the songs he never heard before! How could anyone not be impressed with that?

Morning! Yet another wonderful post today…wow! It just amazes me each and every day since David left how much we have to enjoy while he’s away. The plethora of pics, videos, stories….nothign short of spectacular.

The Angels video from Muldur at the Altar Bar is my favorite of any of David’s Angels performance…just sumthin’ abou it….wow! LOVE thop’s ALTNOY vid, too…it made such a great opener for David. Here is one of my favorite ALTNOY vids…he was soooo ON FIRE that night! :

Just checking in to say Good morning, have to get ready for work, I will be home very late so will probably miss everyone tonight.
Hoping for a RAINBOW VIDEO tomorrow.
Kalei thank you for great post, Will enjoy tonight when i get home.
By the way, we got the menu for the RAINBOW PARTY, how about PARTY FAVORS?
Bye, BBL.

Hi everyone, Great post as ALWAYS. Love all the beautiful pictures. I guess I am not up on my country artists, because I thought that picture od David and Billy Ray Cyrus was D and Kieth Urban. The only country singer I really liked was Bryan White, thought he was sweet.

What a fantabulous post, Kalei you out Rainbowed yourself! How any fan could be bored while David is gone is beyond me. The time and energy our Mods put into keeping the site full of goodies blows my mind! I love being a spoiled fan that calls FOD their home!

Just wait a while. As David croons, “Good things come to those who wait”

Besides, I think he is pacing us. I mean after titillating our imagination with that salsa-dancing-shadow-boxing-air-kicking-white-hat-donning-w/-kneeling-pose he pulled one weekend, we neeeeeeed a breather.

Forevermore Expanded Edition….Ahhhhhhh! I swear that I remember there was talk about this several weeks ago! I’ll be PATIENT!! We certainly have plenty of time! I’m grateful that TPTB are spreading all these wonderful goodies out over time!

sarah- Jasmine admitted on twitter to a fan that she have crush on David, I think Eula have crush on David too. It will not be a surprise, when you meet David , you will got hook on him. Not only because he is handsome, but because of he is kind, humble, sweet and real.

Jhen & Sarah-We certainly are very blessed! David’s incredible on so many different levels, and never ceases to amaze me! Right now I’m missing his video blogs so much! Sigh… So few artists do this for their fans like David did on a regular basis. I hope he continues to make these after he comes back!

Good afternoon, everyone!!! Been busy this morning with 5 extra little ones all under the age of 5! I think my sanity is some where around here some where……. No it was not all bad especially when you get to love on a 4 week old baby the whole time :D!!

Sarahhazel- yes that is 7 my oldest daughter didn’t have school today because of fall break!! The all just left, good times………we played the cleanup game before they left so some how my house is still all in one place and clean

potluck – I remember Bryan White! Loved his Right Place album. After reading your comment I started wondering whatever happened to him as he seems to have vanished. I googled him and apparently he’s working on a new independent album. He’s got a great voice so I’ll be interested in hearing it.

Jhen – David’s hand on your waist and you lived to tell the story?? Lol.

ksf–I know, poor thing…..at least he’s got company there….they will all be missing their usual holiday dinner fare and their families.
Anyway, I need to find what that orange-crusted rolls he’s talking about….haha….sounds yummy!

sarahhazel – you’re right. He won’t be alone. Yeah, I’ve never heard of those rolls before. I wonder if it’s a traditional Utah thing, like funeral potatoes? I’m just looking forward to the pumpkin pie and cornbread dressing and turkey of course. Yum! Yum!

Jazzy – thanks! Those do look yummy. I actually was thinking that the orange things that David referred to might be cheese, but I wouldn’t have thought about carrots. I wonder if these are the ones he’s referring to.

I love Karin’s tweet! I was just thinking about David’s gorgeous MMMM’s on Forevermore before I read this, and was listening to “You Are My Song”, and David’s humming at the beginning always makes me melt, melt, melt!!!

So I just thought of another candy we could bring but have not seen since I was very little and don’t remember what they are called…….. what was that candy that rainbow colors and were little dots and you pulled them off the paper to eat them…..does any one else remember these and or the name?

WOW!!! AN EXPANDED VERSION OF FOREVERMORE!!!!!! I’m speechless. So many surprises, and it’s even more fun because it’s so unexpected. I can only hope it will be reasonably priced. I’m assuming it will be available at WOWHD?

Maybe the DVD will have the Forevermore and Rainbow and I’ll Never Go MVs and maybe other stuff too? Anything is possible. We are the LUCKIEST fans EVER!!!

Oinkiers-They have been around forever, I had them when I was a kid, and believe me that was many, many moons ago, also my grandkids, have had them, I remember sometimes trying to eat them off the paper and sometimes taking the paper with them.

Hi all….sitting in Dulles airport waiting for my flight to London…have a terrible internet conection…..So glad I just checked in…SO SO excited for the expanded Forevermore album and Rainbow……Gotto go….night all…..Miss Vicki

I can’t believe David found the time to do all of this for us before he left, He is one amazing guy, we are so lucky to be fans of his, no doubt in my mind that he will return to music when he returns. Just love that picture, hope it is the one that is on the cover of the CD..

Good evening everyone! I’m late to the game tonight, but wanted to pop in real quick and share my SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING moment with you all! An expanded edition of Forevermore? Gee, is David really trying to kill us off?
That’s a great pic of him on the cover. I can’t believe I’m going to openly admit this, especially because I like to keep my fandomness towards him chaste and age appropriate, but dang……the guy sure has some sexy lips!

I think David is referring to Orange Rolls…very popular in Utah. There are 2 local bakeries that make them…The Lion House and Naborhood Bakery. They are like a dinner roll, but with orange bits in them and usually a powdered sugar frosting.

Hey all,
Great post today as always. Love the thought of an expanded edition for Forevermore. Just the pick-me-up I needed since I stayed home not feeling too hot today. Praying CDwow will have it for a reasonable price when it comes out.

Evening everone. Kalei lovedthe posts and videos. All those goodies for the party and that cake. Oh my. Glad I’m bringing the Tums and water. The ties Kim found are adorable. Not missionary worthy though. Cute very cute. Looking forward to the Forevermore expanded audition. We are so lucky.
Hi ksf- Missed you yesterday.
ATX-

Hey Sarahhazel
I’d bet that David misses his regular routine, too, no matter how happy he is at the moment. I hadn’t thought of his mom shipping him supplies, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she does on occasion. There are probably a few things such as shampoo and toothpaste where he might not be able to get his usual brand or type down there, so her sending them would make sense and be helpful.
Wish I had more spazzing energy tonight. I know I’ll have plenty when the expanded edition gets here, though

pocoelsy–oh,no….hope u feel better soon….in time for the real SPAZZZZing moment!
I have nasty allergies and it’s bothering my throat big time….guess my system is not used to the ragweed, pollen and stuff here in the east coast.

Charlotte- Not you,too. So sorry that you aren’t feeling well. I feel alright but for the last month or so whenever I walk around my nose starts to run and won’t stop. I think I’m allergic to something serius. I can’t move without tissues. A real pain in the neck.

Awww, SGJ :hugs: I know how you and Sarahhazel feel. My allergies drive me insane. They’re usually at the root of the problem when I get sick. What I’ve got right now is minor and I’m glad it’s not any worse. Hope you guys feel better soon, too.

Pocoelsy, absolutely, Mega Spazz or bust Yeah allergies are serious party poopers. If anyone’s looking for a good treatment for them I have decent luck with Zyrtec and Tavist. The latter is just like benadryl so only take it at night if you don’t want to be sleepy.

angelbymyside, by all mean…start on those lips already !!! I’m waiting to hear what you have to say

Oinikiers, thank you <3 yeah under the weather is just about right haha it rains a lot here lately so high humidity (I don't understand how David likes hot and humid weather…he's weird alright lol) The roof leaks !!! so call capenters to come in fixed it, I think they stir some dust , fungus spore, cevit cat fur (raccoon like creature !!)who knows what else haha but have all medications I need just need some good rest..that's all.

Charlotte, thanks for the tips I always wonder why sooo many people has this allergies..you know where did we go wrong…like eating or how we live our lives or both haha never mind!!! let’s talk about David here THOSE LIPS !!!

Those eyes !!! I seriously never seen the eyes that can “speak” like that those sincere and tenderness look he gives everytime he glance…show through his eyes all the goodness that is David Archuleta!!

Pocoelsy, you’re welcome and ITA with you on your description of David. I’ve seen pretty eyes before, but never as stunning as his. They simply sparkle no matter what he does and they are always full of warmth and kindness.
And yeah, about the lips. I have never seen such rosy lips like those on a guy. And I know how he feels about chapstick. It’s my constant companion pretty much year round.

Pocoelsy, in the past they’ve printed the card and bound it like a book and got to him through Kari or someone in his circle. This year it’ll be printed and bound and then mailed to Kari for forwarding to Chile. I hope it’ll bring that sweet smile to his face when he reads it

Haha I signed every card they put out but never knew how they send !!! WOW !!! that’s a lot of work!!! over 500 fans signed that card …David’s fans are the best :). It sure put a big smile on his face and may be a tear of joy knowing that we miss him…Oh that boy he really gets under your skin doesn’t he !!!

Hi guys, it’s so nice to see such excitement around here! Love these surprises, and I hope we get a few more next year. I know what you guys mean about allergies, I’ve had
sinus issues since I was a teen, they can be pretty nasty. You know when I get those Davidarchie tweets on my phone, I still feel a little flutter in my heart One more thing, I ordered a Vikings jersey recently and I didn’t realize until I received it that the number on it is 28! I guess being a David fan is meant to be! Good nite all!

Fun week of stuff to do starting Monday to pass the David mission time away: Week 28; Oct 22-28: Pumpkin carving or painting week. Carve or paint, or create in another way a pumpkin of David or that’s David related. (like black cats and “hush cats”) then share a picture of it.

Hey everyone!
Today I went bowling with some friends and one of those friends used to work at the bowling place and I told her thank you because she would always put David Archuleta music while everyone bowl well today she asked her husband (who works there) to play Crush (no they dont have BEGIN in their computer)! It totally made my night because everyone who was bowling got to hear David!

Wow! a cd and DVD for Forevermore expanded edition.
pocoelsy- I hope your feeling well now. I have allergies too, I sneeze a lot in the morning. Last week, I had a flu, due to overwork maybe and my body resistance become weak, that is why I seldom posted FOD last week.
Ksf- just his hand on my back waist when we were talking to each other, he sometimes do it also when taking pictures with girls and fans. Glad that I don’t tickled lol But it’s always a pleasure to be touch by David lol and I survive lol

OMJosh! An expanded version of Forevermore?! When did David have time to do all this? Wonder if he was contemplating leaving when he didn’t renew his contract with Jive and started then to work on goodies for his fans? Also, perhaps his team is coming up with creative ways to keep his name out there while he’s gone and if so – he’s pretty darn lucky to have people like Kari on his team.

I don’t know about you all but no matter how much David gives us or left us with – don’t get me wrong – I DO appreciate everything he’s done – I still miss him. I miss his vlogs, his touring concerts. … because I loved hearing not only his singing voice but his speaking voice. In a way I think we bonded with this guy like we’ve never bonded with another artist – at least that’s true for me. I love his personality, his values…. So it was easy for me to grow to love and care for him. So needless to say I will continue to read and view any pictures from his mission BECAUSE we’re not the fare weather kind of fans (those are gone – hopefully only temporarily) but truly caring fans that love and sincerely want to know how he’s doing. The fact that most of us are not mormons yet we are interested in what he’s doing speaks volumes!

Ah, allergies everywhere – no matter what part of the world! We too are struggling with them but fortunately the Germans have a wonderful soft nasal spray that we use. They frown upon any drugs unless it’s teas, but I don’t care I love my spray. Speaking of this, when we went to London to see David, I put a bottle of the spray in his gift bag because I knew he was battling bad allergies. Wonder if it helped him?

lct- D team made a right move, he gave us so many music to listen and talk about, so David will be remember even though he is away for a mission. David have fabulously high energy, look like he never exhausted lol

Good morning ladies, JR, a friend of mine told me yesterday that the expanded version will be released next month. I hope that it’s true cuz I will be in Manila from Nov. 10th to the 26th….. Hoping to meet some of DA’s wonderful fans.

Good morning FOD! Took my granddaughter to her Halloween dance…the SCREAMS every time they played a JB song was INSANE! They sang every word too! Then football! Landstown had a surprise guest…Michael Vick, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles! My grandson got to add to his picture collection!! CRAZY!

Hoping to get my order from WOWHD today!! Guess another order will be going in SOON for FEE!! Can’t WAIT to see what’s all included in this NEW release!! Guess the RAINBOW MV will be out the same time the album is released! Will be GREAT promo!

OmgDavid – hey you’re coming to Manila?! Great! Do you already know where you are staying, like which part of the metropolis? Pls drop me a line so some of the local archies could meet w/ you – JR4DA2012@gmail.com

RE the re-launch – I have a date already but am not at liberty yet to say. But definitely not this month

Hi everyone, I am NOT computer wise, I just signed David’s card but I don’t know if it went through, I did not see an enter button. I would do it again but I don’t want it to double post, is there anyway I can find out if it went through? Thank you.

jackryan thanks.. yes I do remember!! love love love the cover for FEE!!

omgdavid thanks and hope you do get to make things work out while you are there!!

hmm going to figure that the new Rainbow mv is part of all this.. and think it will be a fabulous way to promote this new cd coming!!
as for when it comes out.. lol well thinking their version of soon might mean next month?
maybe the powers that be will see fit to send us a snippet beforehand?!
